Exegesis

The construction eis to poiēsai to thélēma autoû {εἰς τὸ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ | eis tò poiêsai tò thélēma autoû} is a telic eis with an articular infinitive expressing purpose: the goal of the equipping is to do His will.

The present active participle poiōn {ποιῶν | poiôn} agrees with the implicit subject (God) and introduces a participial clause elaborating the means and result: en hēmîn {ἐν ἡμῖν | en hēmîn} ‘in us’ and to euáreston enṓpion autoû {τὸ εὐάρεστον ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ | tò euáreston enṓpion autoû} ‘what is well-pleasing before Him,’ highlighting divine approval.
